    Hi there, hope you are well!

    Does anyone know how to redirect all pages of a site to the landing page?

    I’ve read this article:

    https://redirection.me/support/redirect-regular-expressions/

    -but am missing an example of how to redirect all pages to the landing page.

    Here’s what I’ve tried:

    1. Enabled Regex
    2. Source URL: ^/(.*)
    3. Target URL: /

    Result = ‘ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS’

    Any help will be greatly appreciated!

    Many thanks!

    Sure, because your source expression also includes your target URL. You will need to modify it such that you don’t also match your target.

    Hi there @johnny5 – many thanks for your response!

    Could you possibly help me avoid including my target URL in my source expression? I’m a bit lost here, sorry!

    I’ve tried this:

    Source URL: /(.*)

    -but that didn’t work either.

    I hope you can help and many thanks!

    If you look at some of the regex guides mentioned on the support page you’ll see that * matches 0 or more characters, while + matches 1 or more. If you use + instead of * then at least one character will be needed, and so it shouldn’t match / on its own.

    Oh ohhh… Looks like I might have spoken too soon! ??

    @johnny5 – is it in any way possible to exclude all back-end pages? -so all pages within /wp-admin/?

    Hope you can help and many thanks in advance!

    You can use a ‘do nothing’ redirect to exclude URLs.
